Maei - "Doesn't it feel kinda weird to talk to the original four?"
Aloi - "Yeah, we haven't talked to them in a while. Everything's awkward when you haven't seen them for a while."
Maei - "Toni-niisan's a great help though. It's kind of like easing into a warm bath-"
Aloi - "Of confusion?"
Maei stops talking and looks at Aloi with a concerned expression on her face. Aloi just looks back innocently, not really understanding why Maei's looking at her with a weird expression.
Taiyo - "How've you two been?"
Yalib - "I want to know about all of the glamour of being an idol"
Aloi - "It isn't as glamourous as you'd think it to be Yalib-neesan. Well, maybe not for us, but this lifestyle feels like you. It's high energy and very demanding."
Yalib - "I'm demanding?"
Maei - "Ah, no, that's not how we meant it"
Yalib - "It's fine, I know I am, I'm just playing with you two."
Taiyo - "Just a heads up, but Tanner is a big fan of your group"
He is? Oohhh, I just got a good idea!
I know what your idea is, and I'm telling you, don't you dare do it.
I might have already done it?
Tanner - "What're we talking about here?"
Yalib - "We're talking about ADDA, so go on, let your inner fanboy show!"
Tanner - "Ahhh, it's kind of embarrassing..."
Not kind of, it's very embarrassing.
Maei - "We won't judge"
Aloi - "It would actually make all the members happy if they knew that you were a fan!"
Tanner - "Ahh, okay, can I ask for signatures..?"
All them other fans can fucking dream about this, honey, I'm out here living every darlings dream
Maei - "A certain member or just the group in general?"
Well I mean... go big or go home right?
Tanner - "Umm... All of the members..."
Yalib - "I want one with all of your signatures!"
Taiyo - "Me too!"
Toni - "Me three! What're we talking about?"
Taiyo - "We're talking about ADDA"
Toni - "Did Mr. Youth show off his inner fanboy yet? Please tell me I didn't miss the good part"
Mr. Youth my ass bitch
Taiyo - "We were just getting there, so you're good"
I'll just say it, I am calm, I am grace-
Tanner - "CanIpleasehavethe99linephotocard?"
Aaand I lied
Toni - "Gonna have to slow down there buddy"
Tanner - "Can I please have the 99 line photo card?"
Maei - "99 line?"
Aloi - "He means Lili and Nana"
I'm literally going to combust, that's the cutest nickname, oh my god
Aloi - "Vee and Sena are your biases?"
Maei - "I want to know how high we are on this bias list"
Vee, then Sena then Ran and then Angel then Aloi/Maei, Beau, and oh I love you and I'm so so sorry, but May. Is it weird that I see them as one? Merged together?
Tanner - "I'm going to keep that secret from you"
Zhen walks by the talking group, and straight to the dark limo.
Zhen - "I'm about to leave without you two"
Aloi - "We're coming!"
Maei - "We'll see you all later!"
Aloi and Maei half-walk, half-run to catch up to Zhen. They step out behind Zhen, and are met with cameras and fans right away. They don't stop and pose this time, just following Zhen into their usual car. A sleek short black limo with tinted windows, big enough to fit in all the members along with their manager, who also drives them to most events. Zhen gets into the drivers seat and the two idols hop into the back seat in an orderly manner.
Isolde gets in the car before Lillie and they sit one seat apart from each other, on either side of the car, both looking out of the tinted windows. They drive in silence, which is normal for Zhen and Lillie but highly unusual for the usually active and talkative Isolde. Isolde's head suddenly drops down and her neck bends over into the empty seat, getting caught on the seatbelt. Lillie seems shocked but doesn't say anything, taking Isolde's torso out of the confines of her seatbelt and laying her down across the empty seat. Afterwards, she strokes the small head of dark hair, starting from the black roots and going down to the red tips of her hair. Isolde unconsciously leans into Lillie's touch, and starts to curl up into herself, which was stopped almost immediately by the seatbelt restricting her. She lets out a small whine, then goes back to sleeping peacefully.
Zhen - "You two, we're almost there, get ready to go out"
Lillie - "Zhen? Pup fell asleep"
Zhen - "Wake her up then"
Lillie - "Usually I would, but she hasn't slept in a while, she's basically living off of coffee right now"
Zhen - "What do you want to do then?"
Lillie - "Can you help me carry her?"
Zhen - "You want me to carry her?"
Lillie - "No, just make sure that she doesn't fall off"
Zhen - "You can carry her? Are you sure you don't want me to carry her?"
Lillie - "I can carry her."
Zhen - "All right, but hand her to me if you can't"
Lillie - "I will, but I think I'm fine"
